The 11th division had lost more than 80% of their men, 15,000 or 16,000.
In the Marine Corps headquarters, thousands of Japanese soldiers also went to meet Amaterasu under the Mana Explosion.
Including the military police and the troops defending the Hongkou concession in Shanghai, the number of casualties in tonight's battle exceeded 30,000.
This did not include the armed aliens.
The 11th division major general regiment commander who had survived to take on the responsibility of commanding also committed suicide in the end.
After an hour of intense battle with Liu Ze, there were not many soldiers left in the ruins of the Hongkou Settlement that could continue fighting.
Liu Ze was still standing on the roof of the Xingya Bank in one piece. This was the scene that made the soldiers of the 11th division despair the most.
Liu Ze didn't know that the surviving Japanese major general had committed suicide. Seeing that the Japanese were retreating from the battle, he didn't have any intention of continuing the attack.
This was also in line with Liu Ze's prediction. If this continued, the Japanese without heavy firepower would not be his match at all.
If a fully formed division were to come at him from the start, Liu Ze would naturally not be able to block it. After all, his powerful skills had long cooldowns, and he would not be able to link up his heavy firepower.
This was also the reason why he had to use 12 hours to summon the EX-Viper Cannon and destroy the entire Hongkou Settlement in one go.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stop the Japanese's full-scale attack no matter what.
Tonight, Liu Ze had done his best. Other than the airdrop support, he would release all his other major skills as soon as their cooldowns were up.
He kept summoning robots to detonate them, and the Viper Cannon also played the most intensive role in firepower.
Otherwise, without the help of the aerial combat machines, tonight's battle would be very simple, even after destroying a large number of the Japanese's forces.
Fortunately, the Japanese had suffered too many casualties from the start and were unable to organize a large-scale effective attack. They also did not have the troops to surround the Xingya Bank.
The battle came to an end. Liu Ze waited for another ten minutes. When he saw that the Japanese had really given up on attacking, the aerial combat machines had just moved more than a thousand boxes from the bank vault onto the truck.
Liu Ze quickly went downstairs, took out the Heavy Knight, removed all his disguises, and boarded the truck.
Soon, under Liu Ze's lead, the convoy headed straight for the outskirts of Shanghai.
At this moment, all the Japanese in Shanghai had gone to the Hongkou concession to carry out rescue work.
In the ruins of the concession, there were still a large number of injured people in urgent need of help. The Japanese had almost removed all the sentry posts.
It was as if he was telling Liu Ze to leave quickly. They really didn't want to fight anymore.
At the same time, the Japanese also sought help from the nearby concessions, hoping that the hospitals in the concessions could send medical personnel to help the injured.
Quite a number of people died, and even more were injured. There were also many people who were crushed. Under the ruins of the building.
After the war, the Hongkou Settlement seemed to have just suffered an earthquake of magnitude 10 or above. There were ruins of buildings everywhere, incomplete corpses everywhere, and not even a complete wall could be found.
In fact, 180,000 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells were fired in ten minutes, and the absolute killing radius reached 150 meters. Let alone Hongkou Settlement in Shanghai, even the entire Shanghai could not withstand so many artillery shells.
Moreover, all the shells seemed to have eyes. Other than the broken glass, the other buildings across the street from Hongkou concession were not damaged at all. Even the road surface was not cracked.
The Hongkou Settlement across the street was a hellish scene.
Liu Ze's figure disappeared from the roof of the bank, and the few bold Japanese did not see Liu Ze's figure again.
At this moment, a large number of Japanese citizens entered the ruins to help tidy up the ruins.
Under the repeated requests of Fusang and the condition that Fusang offered to spend money, many doctors and nurses were dispatched to help the Japanese treat the wounded.
At this moment, everyone in the concession knew that the gunshots and explosions that had not stopped for more than an hour ended with Liu Ze's victory. The entire Hongkou concession was completely razed to the ground.
For a moment, the Chinese in the various concessions were in an uproar. Even though it was already past three in the morning, countless people were still running around to tell each other.
Meanwhile, in the warehouse across the river from the British concession, the Chinese army stationed there was at a loss.
The Japanese who had been fighting with them for the past two days had all retreated, and there were no more enemies in the four-row warehouse.
Do we still need to defend the four-row warehouse?
Soon, the troops received orders from above. They no longer needed to guard the four rows of warehouses. They took this opportunity to leave the city immediately.
At the same time, while the Japanese were focusing on the rescue, Liu Ze's convoy passed through Shanghai without any pressure.
Along the way, they encountered a few Japanese outposts, but they were all destroyed by Liu Ze's firepower.
The convoy left Shanghai safely and quickly. They arrived at an abandoned waterway far away from the suburbs of Shanghai.
There was only one path that could barely pass through the waterway, and the weeds on both sides of the road were almost swallowing the road.
The dock had been abandoned for many years.
The waterways in this place could be said to extend in all directions. If one wasn't familiar with it, they wouldn't be able to find this place at all. If one wanted to walk out of here without a familiar guide, it was easy to get lost in this complicated waterway network.
This was because this waterway network was filled with aquatic reeds that were taller than boats, and the waterways crisscrossed.
When the truck arrived at the dock that was almost in ruins, there were already a large number of people waiting there.
At the edge of the dock, several large lifting equipment were set up. These equipment had just been installed. In order to run these equipment, there were also a few diesel generators on standby.
At this moment, there were dozens of large barges that were commonly seen on rivers docked at the dock. Each of these barges was hundreds of meters long, and the huge cargo hold could easily hold hundreds of tons of goods.
The trucks arrived on time. One by one, the trucks reversed to the side of the crane. The workers who were ready also got busy silently.
The diesel generator roared and lifted the one-meter-long, wide, and high iron boxes from the truck into the cargo hold of the barge.
